Weather and lightning
I don't know if any of you are interested in weather and whatnot, but here's a cool lightning map of the west. Go to the "North West US" menu item at the top and select one of the other modes. Fun way to see if that t-storm you see in the distance is putting out! http://www.strikestarus.com/index.as...

Yeah, driving Bowman Rd. from 20 sucks. We've parked a couple of times right where the pavement ends and ridden from there. But I, too, like Gaston Rd - even just for using the pickup to get to the Bowman area. One day I drove up Gaston Rd to Meadow Lake Rd and then to the junction of the 41 road an...

Explanation given to a friend at the Truckee Ranger Station: OHVs can only ride on the big numbered roads. Clarification given regarding the difference in the "numbered roads" like "07" vs. the side roads they number like 07-385-13. Those side roads (actually trails) are all closed. They said the op...

Whats up with the trail? It's a great ride up and I would hate to loose the chance to ride it anymore. I'd say ride it while you can. The most current route map (April) shows the lower part as "route not proposed", which I assume will become "illegal to be on" when the final orders are issued. Inex...

And now 89 is closed this afternoon - the news is reporting the fire has jumped lines and is across 89 and Tahoe Keys, Tallac Village and Camp Richardson are under evacuation orders. What a mess - an awful thing for so many people.

Switchback - and some Red Mountain
Well, I started down the Switchback Trail from the top today, but it was just too much to chance with my stock Dunlops. It looks well used - and the bottom looked pretty well used too. Looks like it would be fun - certainly spectactular views all the way! Also, I ran the old Red Mountain trail up to...
